ALBATROSS SANCTUARY
A fund has been opened by the Forest and Bird Protection Society to assist with the cost of providing a "man-proof" fence round the area on the Otago Peninsula where albatrosses have been trying to nest. Realising the need for protecting the area from vandals, residents of Dunedin have spent about £IOO on the fence, but so far supporters of the society have contributed only £7 Is to the fund. "The establishment of an albatross nestingground on the New Zealand mainland close to a city will be a happening unique in the world," states the society's quarterly publication in asking for support of the fund.
